A giant red 7 slices through silver DC lettering on a navy panel, framed by red bands reading American Airlines above and Nonstop New York - Los Angeles below. The design celebrates the Douglas DC-7, which American put into transcontinental service on November 29, 1953, with an inaugural flight from New York Idlewild to Los Angeles. American became the first airline to offer nonstop coast-to-coast service in both directions, a milestone of the late piston era just before jets took over. Airlines handed out stickers like this to passengers for their bags.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
